Chapter Fifty-Six: Seeing the Truth in Adversity
Chapter 56 Hardship Sees Truth
"Tell me about the origin of your Awakening Scroll. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Daisy's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.
"My lord, this, that. "The tall and thin mercenary who was scared to death was stumbling.
Daisy's gaze immediately became sharp, and the tall and thin mercenary swallowed and foamed at the pressure of her gaze. "I stole it. ”
"Where did you steal it?" this time it was Juana who was interested, and Yu Chen kept pacing beside the two of them.
"This, this. The lanky mercenary began to hesitate again.
"Tell me about it!" his meaty-faced companions could not sit still, and their lives were still in the hands of others.
"I stole it from the castle!" the tall and lanky mercenary seemed to use all his strength, and he collapsed on the ground at once. According to the laws of the kingdom, he was enough to be hanged, and the theft of the property of nobles by commoners was a felony of the first class in any country.
No wonder the tall and thin mercenary was always reluctant to speak, he was afraid that his handle would be grasped, but now this situation was beyond him.
"You're lying. Daisy's voice was not loud, but it fell on the ears of the tall and thin mercenary like thunder, and then Daisy made a motion with her hand to wipe her neck.
"My lord, spare my life! My lord spare my life! What I said is true! What the little one said is true!" The tall and thin mercenary, who had already collapsed on the ground, hurriedly knelt down again, and he kept kowtowing, only praying that Daisy could bypass one of his little lives.
His companion with a full face was a little confused, how could things have turned out like this, he also quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, but Yu Chen's footsteps were getting closer and closer, his sweat was already soaking through his clothes, and a lot of cold sweat was left from his forehead.
"What I said is true!" The tall and thin mercenary was lifted up by Yu Chen, only horror was left in his eyes, and he closed his eyes in despair when Yu Chen's Hidden Blade attacked.
"Stop. Very well, now I'm sure you're telling the truth. Daisy was just a little clever, and what she said in such a situation of extreme fear should not be fake. Just when they were kneeling and begging for mercy, Daisy had already realized Yu Chen, and Yu Chen and Juana perfectly cooperated with Daisy to act in a play.
The tall and thin mercenary gasped for air, and he was even wet underneath.
"Huh. Juana pinched her nose with a look of disgust, and Daisy frowned, the smell was really unpleasant.
Yu Chen took advantage of the two of them to relax their vigilance for the rest of their lives, knocked them all out with a knife, and threw them to the toilet with a Yu Chen in one hand. Juana took the opportunity to open the window, and the smell of the room was unbearable.
"What did you get out of their mouths?" Juana still didn't quite understand Daisy's purpose in bringing the two back.
"I knew that something so valuable was definitely not something that ordinary people could have. Daisy didn't answer directly.
"You're saying he has a way to get into the castle?" Juana seemed to understand what Daisy meant, as the tall and lanky mercenary was talking about the castle that was the only one in the city.
The reason why Daisy and his party did not go to the duke in the first place when they entered the city was because of caution, and the current situation was too complicated, and it was unknown whether the people left by Prince Eugen would be reliable. Even Prince Eugen's people are still reliable, and whether the people around the old duke are as reliable as him is also a question for Daisy to consider. Yu Chen doesn't understand politics, Juana is still inadequate, and Daisy must be cautious now, even if she takes a wrong step, she may push her friends into the abyss. So Daisy needs to take the initiative herself, and she is worried that there is no way to enter the castle, and it seems that this method has come now.
Although Sintra is the largest city in the north of the kingdom, but the business is not prosperous, there are more garrisons and military families here, how can a small mercenary have such a precious awakening scroll, you must know that the production of the awakening scroll is very cumbersome and expensive, only some wealthy nobles will have, and there is only one wealthy family in this city. So Daisy deduced that the scroll in the hands of the tall and thin mercenary should be from the castle, and the tall and thin mercenary seemed to be very weak, so there was only one way left, stealing.
In fact, Daisy's speculation may also be wrong, and the scroll on the mercenary's body may not have come from the castle, or he may have turned it over from the pile of dead people. But since there is a great possibility, Daisy is certainly willing to give it a try, and now it seems that her plan can be implemented slowly. With the guidance of this mercenary, Yu Chen's safety factor for infiltrating the castle has greatly increased.
Daisy briefly explained her plan, Yu Chen was ready to go, and Juana handed Yu Chen the letter she wrote to the duke.
Another bucket of cold water, and the two people in the toilet woke up again.
"My lord, I told you everything I knew, you can let us go!" The tall and thin mercenary was panicked, and his companion next to him also woke up quickly this time, and he was also begging for forgiveness from the 'lord'.
"Give you a chance to live. Daisy smiled at the corners of her mouth.
The tall and thin mercenary and his meaty companion were swallowing their own spit, knowing that the girl in front of them must have other conditions.
"Took us to a place. Daisy whispered a place in the tall mercenary's ear.
The tall and thin mercenary shivered, and the girl's whisper in his ear made him feel a little frightened. "Are you really going to let us go?"
"As long as we succeed in achieving our goal. Daisy made a promise to the two, but she was still too soft-hearted, and if she was ruthless, she would definitely choose to kill people afterwards.
The two mercenaries gritted their teeth and made a decision, they had no better choice now anyway, they could only trust that the 'Lord' would fulfill her promise.
Yu Chen and his party had very little to eat at dinner, and they were not in the mood at all now. On the contrary, the two mercenaries who were 'kidnapped' ate most of their dinner, and they must have thought that this might be their last supper. It seems that Yu Chen and they are still quite humane, and they treat the 'captives' so favorably.
It was getting dark, and they were waiting for midnight to fall, and the clock on the wall was telling the time accurately, and the time had come.
At 0:00, Yu Chen and his party set off on time, and the thin mercenary acted as Daisy and Yu Chen's guide, and they headed towards the old duke's castle. Juana, on the other hand, stayed in the room, and the mercenary with a full face was honestly afraid to make the slightest move. It's not that he didn't think about escaping, but he chose to give up after repeated psychological balance, who knows what kind of means the girl in front of him will have.
"You must succeed!" Juana sat quietly in her chair, her heart always on her mind. Daisy wouldn't let her go to better protect her, she knew that. But she still felt guilty in her heart, obviously they didn't have to wade into this muddy water. Her immature body had borne too much, both the kingdom and this rare affection.
